About

theC47 is an online and offline resource for production based training and information. More specifically, theC47 produces and provides educational content that focuses on the craft of both video production and filmmaking.

Jem Schofield, founder of theC47 and the host of its video podcast "gearbox", is a producer, author and educator who teaches production and post-production solutions at workshops, trade shows and special events. He is also the co-founder and director of The Filmmaker's Intensive, an annual two week program that focuses on narrative filmmaking.

His company, Buttons Productions, produces projects for an ever expanding client base. Clients include Apple, Inc., The New York Times, Canon U.S.A. Inc., Vision Research, Abel Cine and Blue Note Records. He's determined to update the Buttons Productions web site one day with some recent work. He'll probably just post stuff on theC47.com instead.

Jem is an Apple Mentor Trainer and co-author of the Apple Pro Training Series book entitled Motion 4 Quick-Reference Guide. He is also the co-author of the Apple Pro Training Series book entitled Motion Graphics and Effects in Final Cut Studio 2 and a contributing author of the Apple Pro Training Series book: DVD Studio Pro 4, 2nd Edition.
